What should I do with the cripple (ugly) molly fry?

I would put them in a seperate tank/container and euthanize them. Clove oil seems to be the most humane method. Instructions may be found here http://www.oscarfishlover.com/helpful-articles/euthanize-fish

What should I do with the cripple (ugly) molly fry?

Hello b...

Accidents happen with Livebearing fish because there are so many born. I keep these fish in large tanks and some can be a bit different. I keep them anyway. Some, with good care, will outgrow the physical problem, the others may not live too long, but at least they have a good environment. So, unless you're a very strict breeder with a specific agenda, I'd keep all the fish and take good care of them.

I personally would put them in a small tank and see where it goes, instead of euthanising them they may die on there own accord, if not just put them with the adults as live food

I used an ornate bichir for fish that were deformed any fair sized piscivores will do (I bred platy as feeder for bichir), shops don't take them and if they do, they are fish food. Or you can kill it in some fashion that you deem acceptable. Many views on this. Depends on what space you have?
